Summary
The North Central Climate Adaptation Science Center’s (NC CASC) Sagebrush and Climate Change Workshop occurred on August 20 and 21, 2024 at the University of Colorado Boulder, the NC CASC’s university host. The workshop convened experts and partners from a range of agencies, institutions, and geographies to discuss research and synthesis needs in the eastern sagebrush biome in Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado.
The workshop was organized to promote discussion and gather input from experts, practitioners and stakeholders/rights holders to inform NC CASC’s science synthesis and research efforts on social-ecological transformation in the eastern sagebrush biome (WY, CO, MT) driven by climate change and other anthropogenic drivers. The primary objectives included:
Convene experts and partners from a range of agencies, institutions, and geographies to discuss research and synthesis needs in the eastern sagebrush biome
Discuss current management challenges, existing resources, and uncertainties for understanding and responding to threats from climate change and other change drivers
Identify specific research and capacity needs that will be the focus of an in-depth multi-year working group effort led by the NC CASC
